--MR. l.. IS. Terry IL visitor TO our
fair to-day. stopping over On his return
home from visit to Minneapolis. He
made the FREE Pass Office q pleasant
call, and took occasion to deny the arti'
Gle in last weeks psper-that the coun-
try people or any considerable number
Of them had any feeling toward Manka-
TO or her fair. In fact Mr.. Terry says
that the very reverse of this is the fact.
The farmers have the greatest respect
for Mankato, and want to see the fair q
success. They believe that both the
Garden City fair and the Live Stock As
sociation can be made permanent agri-
cultural shows if the proper spirit be-
tween the two is cultivated, and not al
low jealousy TO arise. The Garden City
exhibit this Year was up to former years,
while the sale of membership tickets was
fully one-third greater than ever before.
Had 1t not been for the inclemency of
the weather on the closing day, Mr.. T.
is confident that the receipts would have
exceeded those of former years, and as
it was the society came out even-paying
all premiums in full and redeeming all
obligations for improvements made this
year. We are glad to learn these facts
from Mr.. Terry, and SO far as the report.
ed feeling is concerned, his statements
are verified by the large attendance at our
exhibition from his section of the coun-

Neff lost nearly every thing in the fire
even his account books. He estimates
that he can start anew with $500. The
people of Lake Crystal have subscribed
$l75 towards setting him on his feet
which with his insurance will nearly
right him. He had $500 worth of good
accounts, which were lost.

the street from the burned buildings,

diately. 1t is already doing business in
a temporary office.
Marston & Larson have not decided
whether to rebuild again. They are
pretty certain that their building was sci
on fire, and under the circumstances
they hardly feel justified in rebuilding
Things are in such an uncertain condi.
ton as yet that it is not known whether
any others will rebuild. The majority Of
the houses are left in such bad condi.
ton that they feel quite discouraged.
The village is truly in an unfortunate
situation, but when it has recovered from
its terrible blow it is safe to say that il
will be rebuilt, and again become the
prosperous, energetic town that it was a
week ago.
